Box 4655 U 6N K104 fit] U-11142 In response to C/Ruzicka, DCM/DeStefano stated that the applicant failed to perform in a timely fashion on the 1990 project approval. This application is a different configuration which requires a new review by the Planning Commission. He clan ed the location an nction of the proposed 18 foot wall adjacent to Grand Avenue. VC/Nelson asked the height of the current Honda Dealership facility including the height of the inflatable. To what extent is the Burger King over parked. DCM/DeStefano indicated that the existing Honda Dealership is approximately'25 feet at its roofline peak. The inflatable on top of the facility is about 25-30 feet. The 35 foot antenna would be lower than the dealership and inflatable. Burger King is� over parked by about 10 or I I spaces. A traffic study is required to detennine the peak hours of the proposed facilities. He stated that in staff s opinion, car wash facilities tend to have peak hours in the late afternoon/early evening on the weekends. The Burger King facility peak is most likely at lunch time Monday through Friday, although it enjoys a significant dinner business. The Honda dealership is generally an evening and weekend activity and most likely peaks on the weekend. Service is generally a weekday activity with intensity peaking in the early morning and evening hours. C/McManus asked for verification that the easterly slope along Grand AvenueWill be retained with' the addition of a retaining wall. DCM/DeStefano responded that there is about a 30 foot wide flat area that would be created Z, NP -t Lp aW, zs�M Bill Schubert, agent for the applicant, introduced Mathew TachdJian and Thom Pruitt, Project Coordinator. Richard Stupin, architect is not present at this time. He stated that the applicant hoped to resolve this matter this evening. I-&. TachdJian is being pressured by Honda to make a decision on either the remodel and display area or to perhaps move the location. Honda is very interested to see the dealership turn into an auto mall. For a number of reasons, Mr. Tachdjian would like to keep the Honda store in its present location. He stated that there are several objectives for the design of 0 sn", MIMes—Mat Me a -niwf6-uli�filetl tic MTTMI site can accommodate the proposed uses since a variety of activities will generally be incorporated into a single trip. A lot fine adjustment is not an issue and can easily be accomplished at the administrative leve ' 1. It is anticipated that the peak hours for these uses are not the same as the peak uses that are generating traffic at the adjacent intersections. Therefore, staff is not anticipating any significant changes. However, this will be more appropriately assessed through the traffic study and proposed mitigation measures. Mr. Schubert indicated to C/McManus that the matter of a pedestrian walkway between the dealership and the ramp was discussed with staff and the applicant is willing to incorporate ? pedestrianwalkway as a condition of approval. He said he believes the design differences between the three facilities can be compatible and that this issue can be resolved with staff.

He has been involvedwith the project for nearly a year. He believes it is essential for all parties involved to'come to some sort of conclusion and move forward one way or the other.

I Roger Green, Project Manager, introduced members of the project team. He stated that this matter has been under consideration for more than three years. He explained why the project has the potential to be a highly successful site for both corporations. He indicated the following concerns with respect to the proposed conditions: Condition 5.(e), page 9 of the Resolution that requires that the applicant convert seven compact parking spaces to seven standard parking spaces - He stated he believes it will be difficult to get seven standard parking spaces in the same area. He indicated the applicant will maximize the parking to the greatest extent possible and still meet the City's parking requirement. He pointed out where the seven compact spaces are cuffentiv located.

Retention of the trees would result in the loss of the pass through lane which he believes would not be a good idea from a circulation and design standpoint. There are a few existing Eucal,yl��tus trees that may potentially be saved. John Hourian, Landscape Architect for the project, stated his goal is to add more color to the landscape which he believes is lacking at the present time. Approximately eight of the Eucalyptus trees are located within the area of the proposed drive aisle. If those trees were retained, the project would end up with a h - kh Te a MWAri-g-ul -1 fil rA' t T1 174 planting area along the SR 60 side. Vehicles would overhang into the planting area and potentially impact the location of the trees. Mr. Hourian responded to VC/Nelson that the current Eucalyptus trees are approximately 35 feet high. Generally, if maintained properly, Eucalyptus trees can be considered a skyline tree from a distance and in general can be meaningful to break up an urban/suburban area. The proposed replacement trees provide for a more colorful failage and a more beneficial on -grade screening for Golden Springs Drive.

First, the tanker trucks will enter off Brea Canyon Road for fuel delivery, and in order to a ccommodate the trucks, they will need room to deliver their fuel off the right side of their truck.

The address numbers will be placed on the monument signs as required by Code. There is a concern about lowering the menu board to a height of six feet. The board is placed at a six foot nine inch height for a very practical reason. If the sign were lowered by nine inches, the copy on the bottom of the menu would be at a height of nine inches from the ground which creates a problem with the sprinklers and high profile vehicles. He stated it is feasible to lower the board to no less than six feet six inches. The flag pole is already in a 15 foot hole and the applicant would prefer to keep the height at 50 feet to provide for freeway visibility. 1�1= � Iff YNIFIRT RIIRE171� Following discussion, VC/Nelson moved, C/Ruzicka seconded, to continue this matter to May 11, 1999, in order to the staff and the applicant an opportunity to resolve the outstanding issues.

Fitness 100 Bayview Circle, #4000 Newport Beach, -CA 92660 Carey Sign Graphic 1274 N. Grove Stre Anaheim, CA 92806 1 The property owner, L.A. Fitness and applicant, Carey Sign Graphics, are requesting approval of Comprehensive Sign Program No. 99-3 (pursuant to Code Section 22.36.060). The request is to install two wall signs and one monument for the new L.A. Fitness [*,.roject approved by the Planning Commission on April 28, 1998. The project site is located at 20801 Golden Springs Drive. It is approximately 4.6 acres and currently under construction with a 38,000 square foot health club/gymnasium. The project site has a General Plan land use designation of General Commercial (C) and a zoning designation' of Regional Commercial (C-3). Generally, the following zones and use surround the project site: To the north is the Pomona (SR 60) Freeway; to the south is the Rural Residential (R-1-15,000) and Low Density Residential (R-1-10,000) Zones; to the east is the Commercial Planned Development (new Development Code - Neighborhood Commercial-C-1)Zone; and to the west is the Light Agriculture(AG)Zone. Additionally, the project site is located within the City's Redevelopment Agency's Economic Revitalization Area. The purpose and intent of the Comprehensive Sign Program is t4 integrate a project's signs with the design of the project's buildings to achieve a unified architectural statement. Additionally, the purpose and intent of the Program includes harmony with existing signs and encourages creativity while providing a means for the flexible application of sign regulations. The applicant is requesting to install two wall signs and one monument sign. The proposed locations of the two wall signs are on the north (re&r/freeway side) and south (front/Golden Springs Drive side) elevations of the building. The wall sign on the south elevation is 138 square feet with the following two-line copy: "LA FITNESS SPORTS CLUBS". The second wall sign on the north elevation is 62.26 square feet with the following one -line copy: "LA FITNESS". The two proposed wall signs' total sign face area is 200.26 square feet. The wall signs will be internally illuminated channel letters. Channel letters will have white faces with teal centers, black trim caps and returns and a red triangle within the letter "A" of "LA". The four inch underline [wetween the two copy lines of the south facing wall sign will be teal and black. The proposed monument sign, located adjacent to the main driveway access, is four feet in height by eight feet in width with a sign face area of 24 square feet (3 feet by 8 feet). The proposed copy colors will be the same as the wall signs. The monument sign's pediment will be Dunn Edwards Buff Pill (light sienna -DE 1028 ME) and Tumble Weed (deep tan -BE 1057 M2). The base will be Dunn Edwards Buff Pill (light sienna -DE 1028 ME), Tumble Weed (deep tan -BE 1057 M2) and Dunn Edwards Ashes of Hope (grey/tan-DE 1082). Pursuant to Code Section 22.36.130B., it is required that a monument sign be located 10 feet from the ultimate right-of- way. It appears that the monument sign is located approximately nine feet from the ultimate right-of-way (see Exhibit "A" -site Lodan). Therefore, it is required that the monument sign be moved to accommodate the required setback. Also required is a landscape area at the monument sign's base equal to twice the area of one face of the sign or for this application 48 square feet. Furthermore, an Arabic numeral address.plate is required, clot to exceed four square feet in area with a minimum of three inches for the numerals. N_ Proposed colors of all signs reflect the L.A. Fitness logo. The proposed colors for the monument sign's pediment and base reflect the approved colors for the health club/gymnasium structure. The monument sign's design is compatible and reflects the architec- tural feel of the approved health club/gymnasium structure. Additionally, the proposed signs are compatible with the existing surrounding commercial developments' eclectic signs. Pursuant to Code Section 22.36.130B., a single tenant is allowed one wall sign per building -frontage with the sign face area calculated at 1.25 square feet for each lineal foot of building frontage not to exceed a total of 125 square feet of wall signage. As stated, the proposed sign face area exceeds the maximum 125 square feet and totals 200.26 square feet. Pursuant to Code Section 22.36.060 (Comprehensive Sign Program), it is required that the Planning Commission review a wall sign request for a single -use building that exceeds the 125 square feet maximum aggregate sign face area. This code section allows the Planning Commission to approve up to 200 square feet of sign fac4 area if a structure has a building frontage of at least 200 lineal feet. The health club/gymnasium structure has a building frontage of approximately 233 lineal feet. In order for the Commission to approve the Comprehensive Sign Program, it is required that the total wall sign face area be reduced by .26 square feet. The Building and Safety Division and the Public Works Division have reviewed this project. The Divisions' recommendations art - incorporated within the draft resolution. Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the City has determined that Comprehensive Sign Program No. 99-3 is categorically exempt pursuant to CEQA Section 15311 (a). Pubic hearing notice is not required for a Comprehensive Sign Program. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Comprehensive Sign Program No. 99-3, Findings of Fact and conditions of approval as listed within the attached draft resolution. K U. The Comprehensive Sign Program satisfies the purpose and intent of Code Section 22.36.060; 2. The signs enhance the overall development, are in harmony with, and are ' visually related to other signs included in the Comprehensive Sign Program and to the structure and/or uses they identify, and to surrounding development; 3. The Comprehensive Sign Program accommodates future revisions which may be required due to changes in uses or tenants; and 4. The Comprehensive Sign Program complies with the standards of this Chapter, except that flexibility is allowed with regard to sign area, number, location, and/or height to the extent that the Comprehensive Sign Program will enhance the overall development and will more fully accomplish the purpose's of Code Section 22.36.060.

The Planning Commission hereby determines that the project identified above in this Resolution is 0 ",:- - I categorically exempt from the requirement s Of-':t4e California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Of:"!WO, as amended, and the guidelines promulgated thereunder, pursuant Section 15311 (a) of Article 9 of Chapter 3 of Title 14 the California Code of ftegulations. 3. The Planning Commission hereby specifically finds and determines that, having considered the record as a whole including the findings set forth below, and changes and alterations which have been incorporatet into and conditioned upon the proposed project set forth in the application, there is no evidence before this Planning Commission that the project proposed herein will have the potential of an adverse effect on wild life resources or the habitat upon which the wildlife depends. Based upon substantial evidence, this Planning Commission hereby rebuts the presumption of adverse effects contained in Section 753.5 (d) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations. 4. Based on the findings and conclusions set forth herein, this Planning Commission hereby finds as follows: (a) The project relates to a 4.6 -acre parcel currently being developed with an L.A. Fitness health club/gymnasium approved by the Planning Commission on April 28, 1998. (b) The project site has a General Plan Land Use designation of General Commercial (C). It is has a zoning designation of Regional Commercial (C- 3). C) Generally, the following zones and use surround the project site: to the north is the Pomona (SR 60) Freeway; to the south is the Rural Residential (R-1-15,0010) and Low Density Residential (R-1-10,000) Zones; to the east is the Commercial Planned Development (new Development Code - Neighborhood Commercial -C-1) Zone; and to the west is the Light Agriculture(AG) Zone. (d) The Application is a request to install two wall signs located on the north (rear/freeway side) and south (front/Golden Springs Drive side) elevations of the building. The wall signs are proposed as follows: 4 �i., 41, (1) Wall sign on the south elevation is square feet with the following two-line cop�,: ""LA FITNESS SPORTS CLUBS"; (2) Wall sign on the north elevation is 62.26 square feet with the following one -line copy: "LA FITNESS"; (3) Two proposed wall signs' total sign face area is 200.26*square feet; and (4) Wall signs will be internally illuminated channel letters with white faces and teal centers, black trim caps and returns and a red triangle within the letter "A" of "LA"; and (5) Teal and black four inch underline between the two copy lines of the south facing wall sign; (e) Additionally, the application request includes one monument sign located adjacent to the main driveway access is proposed as follows: (1) Four feet high by eight feet wide with a sign face area of 24 square feet (3 feet by 8 feet); (2) The proposed copy colors will be the same as the wall signs; (3) The monument sign's pediment will be Dunn Edwards Buff Pill (light sienna DE 1028 ME) and Tumble Weed (deep tan -BE 1057 M2); (4) The base.will be Dunn Edwards Buff Pill (light sienna -DE 1028 ME), Tumble Weed (dee�i: tan -BE 1057 M2) and Dunn Edwards Ashes of Hope (grey/tan-DE 1082). (f) The proposed signs are in substantial compliance with the adopted General Plan. The General Plan requires that a sign concept address the following: scale in relationship to the building; landscaping; and readability. it also dictates that the concept ensure integration 9 into the overall site and architectural th dme of the site's development. The proposed signs' scale and placement allows for easy readability and.a clear line -of -site for traffic traveling along Golden Springs Drive and entering and exiting the site. The clear line- :tf-site issue was reviewed and confirmed by the Prublic Works Division. The signs' design is compatible with the existing eclectic signs of the surrounding commercial areas. (g) The Comprehensive Sign Program satisfies the purpose of Chapter 22.36 of the City of,Diamond Bar Development Code and the intent of Section 22.36.060; The proposed Comprehensive Sign Program No. 99-3 is consistent with purpose and intent of Chapter 22.36 of the City of Diamond Bar Development Code because the signs' design and colors reflect the architecture and color of the project site's development (the health club/gymnasium structure). Additionally, the proposed signs I design is compatible with the existing eclectic signs of the surrounding commercial areas. (h) The proposed signs enhance the overall development, are in harmony with, and are visually related to other signs included in the Comprehensive Sign Program and to the structure and/or uses they identify, and to surrounding development; The proposed signs' placement allows for clear identification of the health club/gymnasium when traveling east and westbound on Golden Springs Drive. Additionally, the proposed signs' type- face style, colors, design are consistent with the health club/gymnasium structure and integrate the signs with the said structure to achieve a unified architectural statement while allowing for easy readability. Furthermore, the proposeV signs' design is harmonious with the eclectic collection of sign styles I in commercial centers in the City as a whole, as well as being compatible with the style, color and signs of the Commercial sites surrounding the project site. E (i) The Comprehensive Sign Program accommodate�,future revisions, which may be required due to changes-,ift-, uses or tenants. The application utilizes the maximum signage with this submittal. Pursuant to Code, the Director may approve future revisions if it is determined -that the revisions are minor.and that the intent of -the original approval, and any conditions attached are no't affected. (j) The Comprehensive Sign Program complies with the standards of Chapter 22.36 of the City of Diamond Bar Development Code, except that flexibility is allowed with regard to sign area, number, location, and/or height to the extent that the Comprehensive Sign Program will enhance the overall development and will more fully accomplish the purpose of this Chapter. The application of two wall signs of varying heights and locations, and one monument sign is consistent with the intent of Chapter 22.36 of the City of Diamond Bar Development Code. The color, size, presentation, and placement of.the signs allow for flexibilitywith compatibility utilizing size, shape, color, presentation, and logo recognition. Additionally, pursuant to Code Section 22.36.130B., a single tenant is allowed one wall sign per building frontage with the sign face area calculated at 1.25 square feet for each lineal foot of building frontage not to exceed a total of 125 square feet of wall signage. The proposed sign face area exceeds the maximum 125 square feet and totals to 200.26 square feet. Pursuant to Code Section.22.36.060, a Comprehensive Sign Program review and approval, by the Planning Commission, is required whenever a single -use building with 200 feet or more of frontage is requesting approval of sign face area that exceeds the maximum aggregated sign area up to 200 square feet, thereby allowing flexibility. The health club/gymnasium structure has a building frontage of approximately 233 lineal feet.

W MINIMUM ANNEMARIE !11,4 PROPERTY OWNERS: Chevron Products Co., Inc. 1300 South Beach Boulevard La Habra, CA 9063 2 1777 Old Cutler koad Miami, FL 33157 1 APPLICANTS: McDonald's Corporation Debra Marinozzi 11682 El Camino Real, Suite #400 San Diego, CA 92130 Chevron Products Co., Inc. Rick Yost .&M 1e,1y&;k1KM1 La Habra, CA 9063 2 BACKGROUND: The applicants, the McDonald's Corporation and the Chevron Products Co., Incorporated, are requesting approvals for Development Review No. 99-1, Conditional Use Permit No. 99-1, Comprehensive Sign Program No. 99-1, and Variance No. 994 to construct a 4,794 square foot combined commercial fast food restaurant with a gasoline service station. The proposed combined commercial development will include an indoor restaurant with drive-.thru, approximately 2,732 square feet and convenience food store, approximately 2,062 square feet. The applicant presently does not propose to sell alcohol, but may apply at a later date for the required permits to sell alcohol in the future. The project will also include a drive-thru for the restaurant and six multi -dispensers. The project site is located on two neighboring lots; 21095 and 21025 Golden Springs Drive. These lots are also referred to as Parcel I and Parcel 2 of Parcel Map No. 7207 and are labeled respectively on the submitted site plan. The project site is approximately 50, 167 gross square feet. Parcel 2 contains a sewer easement on the far west side. The site located at 21025 Golden Springs Drive currently contains a Continental Burger fast- food restaurant with a drive-thru lane. The site located at 21095 Golden Springs Drive currently contains a Chevron gasoline station. Both existing developments will be demolished to accommodate the newly proposed development. 1: :;dCJ709YfYC_k cc—, 27, 1999. At that time, the applicant raised five issues of concern. The five issues included the following: 1) replacement of compact spaces in the, parking lot, 2) calculation of the fair share contribution for future traffic improvements, 3) dedication of 15' of irrevocable right-of-way, 4) removal and replacement of the existing eucalyptus trees on the project site, and 5) reductions in wall sign area, height of the proposed menu board sign and two flag poles. At the direction of the Planning Commission, the applicant and City staff indicated they would be flexible and attempt to work with one another to resolve these issues. On April 30, 1999, the applicant and City staff had a meeting to discuss the five key issues of concern. The applicant and City staff agreed upon reductions in wall sign area, height of the proposed menu board, and height of the flagpole. The remaining issues are discussed in this report with City staff s recommendations for the Planning Commission's consideration. The City's review of the above listed application request was included in the staff report dated April 15, 1999. The staff report dated April 15, 1999 is labeled as Attachment #6 and included with this report. The applicant also provided a written letter with additional information dated May 5, 1999 for the Planning Commission. The applicant's written letter with additional information is labeled at Attachment #9 and also included with this report. Pursuant to the Planning Commission's request, the application request was continued to May 11, 1999. The applicant originally proposed to provide a total of 42 parking spaces. However, seven spaces were designated as compact. The seven compact spaces were originally proposed to be located at the northeast comer of the project site. The City's development code standards do not allow compact spaces, but requires standard full size parking spaces. Both the applicant and the City anticipate the McDonald's/Chewon will be an intensely used commercial area, which will need ample parking to be available. The applicant informed the City that the project site may not be able to accommodate seven full size spaces. To allow for flexibility, the City staff recognizes that the conversion of compact spaces to full size spaces will require the removal of a landscape median. The applicant may also consider applying full sized, angled parking stalls. Pursuant to the Development Code, the minimum drive aisle width is 26 feet. The applicant indicated that they intended to maximize the number of parking spaces for the project site. Therefore, as a condition of approval, the applicant shall replace seven compact spaces with six full size spaces as part of the project's conditions of approval. The City's Traffic Consultant, Warren Siecke and the Public Works Division reviewed the proposed site plan. The City recommended the applicant dedicate additional public right-of-way for future traffic improvements. Although the applicant may not be required to immediately .improve the additional public rights-of-way as part of the project's conditions, the City Engineering staff is anticipating cumulative traffic impacts of the surrounding commercial neighborhood in the future. These cumulative traffic impacts were included in the applicant's traffic report and are referenced in the staff report dated April 15, 1999 (Attachment #6). The City originally recommended that the applicant be conditioned to dedicate 15 feet of irrevocable public right-of-way to the City for necessary street improvements in the future. The original recommendation was based on the minimum lane width required to add an additional lane. The applicant's traffic engineer, RKJK & Associates, provided an alternative condition, which would only require dedication of five feet of irrevocable right-of-way along their lot's frontage. At the meeting of April 30, 1999, RKJK & Associates provided two exhibits; Exhibit I and Exhibit 2. These exhibits are included as'an attachment to this report (Attachment #8). Exhibit I shows a comparison of a modified six lane roadway and modified six lane roadway with dual lefts. It is assumed both Golden Springs Drive and Brea Canyon Road are approximately 86 feet in width when measuring from curb to curb. Exhibit 2 shows the suggested alternative condition. In order for future improvements to work, five feet of right -of -Way needs to be obtained from both sides of the street. The dedication of right-of-way will accommodate eight lanes with dual left turn lanes. The Deputy Director of Public Works has also reviewed the proposed alternative condition. If the respective additional right-of-way can be obtained for the other comers, City staff feels the suggested alternative condition is acceptable to implement future traffic improvements. Therefore, the applicant shall dedicate five feet of irrevocable right- of-way on Golden Springs Drive and Brea Canyon Road as part of this project's conditions of approval. I I UNNIN Z -- 0 1 TIT 7 "TWITM "I A, M I I T -If-fydy sipt DCLWCr(XIU w-unt; LuLmiuture improvement costs. I-ffr 't The traffic impact analysis included calculated total improvements costs to be $275,000 and the project's fair share costs to be $7,575. The City staff also discussed this issue with the applicant at the April 30, 1999 meeting. The City staff questioned the preliminary roadway improvement cost estimates of $275,000. The applicant was asked to provide a detailed cost estimate, showing how the amount of $275,000 was derived. City staff feels the estimated cost figures used do not accurately reflect the true costs for future traffic and/or roadway improvements. The City has not received any further detailed cost breakdown from the applicant since the City's request was rna�e. Due to the lack of information, the Deputy City Director has provided a rough estimated cost for future improvements. The rough estimate includes costs for right-of-way, utilities, civil engineering, drainage, and parkways. The total rough estimated cost is $675,000. Therefore, the applicant shall provide a fair share contribution of approximately $20,000. EUCALYPTUS TREES City staff would like to see the applicant retain as many of the eucalyptus trees as possible. The removal of the trees would be a substantial loss for the project site. Nonetheless, the eucalyptus trees are over 20 feet high and estimated to be approximately 35-40 years old. It will be extremely difficult to replace the eucalyptus trees of this size and age. The applicant cited the removal of the eucalyptus trees is necessary for a number of reasons. First, the applicant sees the trees may be a potential safety hazard because eucalyptus trees periodically drop their branches and shed bark during windy periods. Second, the applicant noted the eucalyptus trees are difficult to maintain. Third, the eucalyptus trees are located where the proposed drive-thru and pass-thru lane are being placed. As a result, the applicant feels all 15 eucalyptus trees should be removed. During the Planning Commission meeting of April 27 1999, Chairman Tye had questioned the applicant on whether or not the proposed building could be shifted ten feet to the east so that a number of the eucalyptus trees could be retained. The applicant had responded that the building and service station canopy were placed at specific location as required by the Chevron Products Company for the operation of the gasoline service station. However, the City would like to consider this as an option for retaining the eucalyptus trees. The suggestion to shift the building ten feet to the east so that a number of eucalyptus trees could be retained may be done without adversely affecting the project site plan's compliance with the Development Code. This will require the landscape area between the building and the drive-thru aisle be and the walkway area on the east side of the building near the entrance to the McDonald's/Chevron be reduced. By shifting the location of the building ten feet east, the applicant would then be able to retain five or more eucalyptus trees. The City would also consider the eucalyptus trees as part of the project site's landscaping and credit the amount of landscape area with eucalyptus trees toward their minimum 15 percent landscape area that is required for the site. City staff also met with the applicant on April 30, 1999 in an effort to seek alternative conditions for the replacement of the eucalyptus trees. City staff originally recommended the replacement of the eucalyptus trees be at a 3:1 ratio. This would require the applicant to place 45 trees on t6 project site. The Planning Commission had suggested the applicant work with City staff to revise the condition. At the meeting of April 30, 1999, the applicant informed City staff that replacement trees should be installed at a 1: 1 ratio.. See Attachment #9. In an effort to further explore alternative conditions, the City staff devised the following list which includes options for replacement of the eucalyptus trees: 1. Require the applicant to install replacement trees at a 3:1 ratio, but place replacement trees off the project site in other areas of Diamond Bar. This is a feasible option, suggested by Commissioner Nelson, in which replacement trees can be planted in the street medians and/or public right-of-way. This may also be an ideal alternative solution for the applicant since the project site is limited in space for additional landscaping. 9. Require the applicant to install replacement trees on the public right-of-way along Golden Springs Drive and Brea Canyon Road. The applicant has the advantage of placing the replacement trees adjacent to the project site and beautifying the area, which immediately surrounds the project site. Again, this may also be an ideal alternative solution for the applicant since the project site is limited in space for additional landscaping, Require the applicant give the cash value of replacement trees in lieu of planting the replacement trees. This option would provide the City with reasonable compensation for the loss of ti, zucalyptus trees. M In any case, the City staff still feels removal of the trees would be a substantial loss for th-c- project site. City staff feels the eucalyptus trees help provide for better aesthetics of the overall project site. Again, it will be difficult to provide replacement trees that are the same size and age. Therefore, City staff recommends one of the above options be considered as part of the project's conditions of approval. At last, City staff recommends the following information be added as part of the project's conditions of approval. Additional information has been added to the resolution to ensure a good product comes from the proposed development. The additional information includes a condition in which the applicant shall change the color of the drive-thru portion of the monument sign. The black background shall be red to match the proposed McDonald's logo. This condition was mentioned in the City's staff report presentation for the Planning Commission meeting of April 27, 1999. Nevertheless, this condition was added to ensure the color of the signage matches with the building's colors as stated in the City's design guidelines. Also, the applicant shall restrict access for the driveway located along Golden Springs Drive to right turn ingress and egress only. This condition is an added recommendation by the City's traffic consultant to ensure traffic safety for the project site. The City's Public Works Division and Building and Safety Division reviewed this project. Their recommendations are within the attached draft resolution. Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the City has determined that a Negative Declaration is required for this project. According to Section 15070, Negative Declaration No. 99-4 has been prepared. The Negative Declaration's review period began April 8, 1999 and ended April 27, 1999. Notice for this project was �published in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin and the San Gabrie Valley Tribune on April 8, 1999. Public hearing notices were mailed to approximately within a 500 -foot radius of the project site on April 7, 1999. Furthermore, the project was posted with a display board on April 8, 1999.

Hereinafter, in this Resolution, the subject Development Review, Conditional Use Permit, Comprehensive Sign Program, Variance, and Negative Declaration shall be referred to as the "Application". t). The Planning Commission of the City of Diamond Bar on April 27, 1999 conducted -a duly noticed public hearing on the Application. The public hearing was continued to May 11, 1999. Notification of the public hearing for this project was published in the San Gabriel Vallev Tribune and Inland Vallev Daily Bulletin newspapers on April 8, 1999. Forty- nine owners within a 500 foot radius of the project site were notified by mail on April 7, 1999. Furthermore, the project site was posted with a display board on April 8, 1999. NOW, THEREFORE, it is found, determined and resolved by the Planning Commission of the City of Diamond Bar as follows: 1. This Planning Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct. 2. The Planning Commission hereby finds that the Initial Study review and Nega&, Declaration No. 99-4 has been prepared by the City of Diamond Bar in compliano; with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970 and guidelines promulgated thereunder, pursuant to Section 15070. Furthermore, Negative Declaration No. 994 reflects the independent judgement of the City of Diamond Bar. 3. The Planning Commission hereby specifically finds and determines that, having considered the record as a whole including the findings set forth below, there is no evidence before this Planning Commission that the project proposed herein will have the potential of an adverse effect on wild life resources or the habitat upon which the wildlife depends. Based upon substantial evidence, this Planning Commission hereby rebuts the presumption of adverse effects contained in Section 753.5 (d) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations. 4. Based on the findings and conclusions set forth herein, this Planning Commission hereby finds as follows: (a) The project site is approximately 50,167 square feet. It Is located at 21025 an�? 21095 Golden Springs Drive, Diamond Bar, California. The project site is developed with an existing fast-food restaurant and gasoline service station. (b) The project site has a General Plan land use designation of General Commercial (C). Pursuant to the General Plan, this land use designation provides for regional, freeway oriented and/or community retail and service commercial uses. The proposed project is a retail and service commercial use and therefore complies with the General Plan. (c) The project site is within the Community Commercial (C -2 -BE) Zone. This zoning designation permits retail and service uses as proposed. (d) Generally, the following zones and uses surround the project site: to the north, i,-. the SR 57 and SR 60 freeway junction, to the west, east, and south, is the C -2 -BE Zone. (e) The proposed Application is a request to construct a 4,794 square foot combined commercial fast food restaurant with a gas service station. The combined commercial development proposed will include an indoor restaurant, drive-thru, convenience food store, and six multi -dispensers under service station canopy. Furthermore, the request includes a Comprehensive Sign Program in order to install wall signs, two monument signs, directional signs; and Variance for the proposed 62' 10" high pole sign. (e) The design and layout of the proposed development is consistent with the General Plan, development standards of the applicable district, design guidelines, and W DRAFT �Txchitectural criteria for specialized area (e.g., theme areas, specific plans, community plans, boulevards, or planned developments); The proposed project complies with the elements of the adopted General Plan of July 25,1995, which has a land use designation of General Commercial. Additionally, the proposed project complies with the City's Development Code standards for structures in a C -2 -BE zone., The project meets the minimum setbacks, building height, and floor area ratio for development in a C -2 -BE zone.. The proposed project's architectural style, construction materials and colors are consistent with the existing structures in the C -2 -BE zone. The proposed project has a contemporary design similar to the surrounding developments. The project site is within the Redevelopment Agency's Economic Revitalization Area. Ellowever, there are no architectural criteria required for projects in this area. Therefore, the design and layout of the proposed project is consistent with the applicable elements of the City's General Plan and Development Code standards. (f) The design and layout of the proposed development will not interfere with the us; and enjoyment of neighboring existing or future development, and will not creato-"_ traffic or pedestrian hazards; The proposed project is within a commercial zone (C -2 -BE) which permits the proposed commercial use. The project required the submittal of a traffic analysis/report. A traffic impact analysis report was prepared by RKJK & Associates for this project. Recommendations are incorporated as a part of the project's conditions of approval to ensure the proposed project will not create traffic or pedestrian hazards. Specific recommendations include closure of the easterly driveway located along Golden Springs Drive, stop controlling driveways with minimum widths of 40 feet, and restricting access for the driveway located on Golden Springs Drive to right turn ingress and egress only. Therefore, the proposed project will not create traffic or pedestrian hazards. (g) The architectural design of the proposed development is compatible with the characteristics of the surrounding neighborhood and will maintain and enhance the harmonious, orderly, and attractive development contemplated by Chapter 22.48, the General Plan, City -Design Guidelines, or any applicable specific plan; The proposed project's architectural style, construction materials and colors are consistent with the existing structures in the C -2 -BE zone. The proposed project has a contemporary design similar to the surrounding developments. More specifically, the proposed project has a metal seamed roof similar to some of the surrounding buildings and stucco walls similar to all of the surrounding developments. The. project site is within the Redevelopment Agency's Economic Kevitalization Area. However, there are no architectural criteria required for— projects in this area. Therefore, the architectural design of the proposed DRAP U L of—EWS-Wouni neighborhood. (h) The design of the proposed development will provide a desirable environment for its occupants and visiting public as well as its neighbors thorough good aesthetic use of materials, texture, and color that will remain aesthetically appealing; Indeed, the McDonald's restaurant is easily identified by the brick red color 4 - mansard roof, stucco walls, aluminum storefront, and wainscot tile. The color texture of the fast food restaurant help easily identify McDonald's and th.Ju creates a familiar project site in which customers are accustomed to seeing in commercial area. More specifically, the wainscot tile is being added to the ba of the building and walkway to provide for more aesthetic appeal. It also hel create a building, which is easier to maintain in the long run. The wainscot tile preferred because painted stucco walls are more likely to peel and have a di appearance. Therefore, the proposed project's design provides for a mo desirable environment for its occupants and customers through the good use building materials, texture, and color. (i) The proposed project will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious (e.g. negative affect on property values or resale(s) of property) to the properties or improvements in the vicinity; and Before the issuance of any City permits, the proposed project is required to comply with all conditions within the approved resolution and the Building and Safety Division, Public Works Division, Health Department, Sheriffs Department, Fire Department, South Coast Air Quality Management District requirements. The referenced agencies' involvement will ensure that the proposed commercial development is not detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare or materially injurious to the properties or improvements in the vicinity. The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). (k) The proposed use is allowed within the subject zoning district with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit and complies with all other applicable provisions of this Development Code and the Municipal Code; S DRAF Pursuant to the Development Code, a drive-thru service is permitted in a C-2 zone, provided a Conditional Use Permit is obtained. The proposed project complies with the Development Code's requirements set forth for drive-thru facilities. Requirements specifically include the following: Drive-thru aisles shall have a minimum 10 foot interior radius at curves and a minimum 12 foot width. Each drive-thru entrance/exit shall be at least 50 feet from an intersection of public rights-of-way, measured at the closest intersection curbs, and at least 25 feet from the curb cut on an adjacent property. Each entrance to an aisle and thz, direction of traffic flow shall be clearly designated by signs/pavement markings. Additionally, the proposed project was required to submit a traffic analysis/repo' J The project was also reviewed by the City's traffic consultant to ensure adequal circulation routes necessary for ingress or egress from the property, or access to parking space. (1) The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan; The proposed project has a General Plan land use designation of General Commercial (C). Pursuant to the General Plan, this land use designation provides for the establishment of regional, freeway oriented and/or community retail and service commercial uses. The proposed development is considered a community retail and service commercial use as required by the General Plan. The addition of the drive-thru provides convenience for fast food restaurant customers and thus, makes for a potentially more attractive commercial development in which Diamond Bar citizens may enjoy. Furthermore, the proposed project meets the Development Code's minimum requir'ements for drive-thru facilities. Requirements include minimum aisle widths and analysis of vehicle queuing capacity. These requirements help ensure the drive-thru fits in well with the site. Therefore, the proposed drive-thru is consistent with the General Plan and Development Code standards. (m)The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the proposed use are compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity; The proposed project is located within a Community Commercial (C -2 -BE) Zon The zone allows for retail and service uses. All developments within the C -2-B, I Zone must meet certain minimum development standards as stated in the City Ifiamond Bar Development Code. Development standards include setback building height, parking layout, FAR, landscaping, and signage. The propos project meets the minimum development standards or has recommendatio incorporated as part of the conditions of approval. Therefore, the propos project is compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity. I FIN ZII\ (n) The subject site is physically suitable for the type and density/intensity of use being proposed including access, provision of utilities, compatibility with adjoining land uses, and the absence of physical constraints; The subject site currently contains an existing fast food restaurant and gasoli service station. The existing fast food restaurant and gasoline service station permitted in a C -2 -BE Zone. The proposed project is similar to the existing la use and shall meet the requirements for a C -2 -BE Zone. This type of service compatible with the surrounding commercial neighborhoods; particularly oth nearby restaurant services, which also have drive-thru facilities. Therefore, t. subject site is physically suitable for the type and density/intensity of use bei proposed including access rovisionof)mirtft,,v��*-*;)i--p,7.,�i;ili,��vi uses, and the absence of physical constraints ICWndifflonarlTe Termit will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare, or injurious to persons, property, or improvements in the vicinity and zoning district in which the property is located; and As stated in (k) and (1), the drive-thru must meet the minimum requirements set forth in the City of Diamond Bar's Development Code. Safety measures include providing minimum aisle widths, enhancing paving or markings which indicate pedestrian walkways, screening from view service areas, roof mounted mechanical equipment, and trash storage areas. Circulation issues related to the drive-thru have also been addressed in the traffic analysis/report, which was prepared by RKJK and Associates for this project. More specifically, a pass-thru lane located alongside the drive-thru lane was proposed to provide better circulation. Therefore, * granting the Conditional Use Permit will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare, or injurious to persons, property, or improvements in the vicinity and zoning district which the property is located. (p) The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance I with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). 11 OU 0 a (q) The Comprehensive Sign Program satisfies the purpose of this Chapter and the intent of this Section; L The Comprehensive Sign Program is consistent with purpose, and intent of Chapter 22.36 of the City of Diamond Bar Development Code because it complies with the design standards and guidelines, and is compatible with the style, color, and the requirements for presentation. This is true with the exception of maximum allowed sign area for wall signs in which the applicant shall reduce the signs so the total sign area does not exceed 200 square feet as part of the conditions of approval. The applicant has proposed to have approximately 227 square feet in wall sign area. The proposed signs were reviewed by the Public Work's Division and comply with clear line -of -site and directional requirements. Additionally, the Building and Safety Division reviewed the sign proposal. The Building and Safety Division's plan check review, permit and inspections will ensure that the proposed signs will not be a public hazard. (r) The signs enhance the overall development, are in harmony with, and are visually related to other signs included in the Comprehensive Sign Program and to the structure and/or uses they identify, and to surrounding development; The proposed signs' placement allows for clear identification of the McDonald's/Chevron development, when traveling west and eastbound on Golden Springs Drive. The pole sign allows for clear identification when traveling on the SR 60 freeway. Additionally, the arrangement of the signs and logos match with the existing main structure and allow for easy identification. The proposed signs' design is harmonious with the eclectic collection of sign styles in commercial centers in the City as a whole, as well as being compatible with the style, color and signs of the commercial sites surrounding the project site. (s) The Comprehensive Sign Program accommodates future revisions which may be required due to changes in use or tenants; and The application utilizes the maximum signage with this submittal. However, future revisions are allowed. (t) The Comprehensive Sign Program complies with the standards of this Chapter, except that flexibility is allowed with regard to sign area, number, location, and/or height to the extent that the Comprehensive Sign Program will enhance the overall development and will more fully accomplish the purposes of this Chapter. I, " ", mi, I= , two monument signs are consistent with the intent ot Unapter 22.36—ot-th—eCity ot Diamond Bar Development Code. The color, size, presentation, and placement of the signs allow for flexibility with compatibility utilizing size, shape, color, presentation, and by utilizing logo recognition. Im ,u) There are special circumstances applicable to the property (e.g., location, shape, size, surroundings, topography, or other conditions), so that the strict application of the City's Development Code denies the property owner privileges enjoyed by other property owners in the vicinity and under identical zoning districts or creates unnecessary and non -self created, hardship or unreasonable regulation which makes it obviously impractical to require compliance with the development standards; - In granting the variance for the freeway oriented sign, special circumstances apply to this particular project site. First, the project is located 15' below the freeway grade. It is difficult for freeway travelers to see the subject site without having a freeway oriented sign in place. The project site surroundings include the SR 57 and SR 60 freeway junction and freeway eastbound freeway on-ramp. It is anticipated that freeway travelers will be traveling at high speeds, thus making it difficult for freeway travelers to see the sign at a 40' height. Since the freeway is also divided into. more than four lanes, a sign, 40' high may not be noticed by freeway travelers going north. City staff anticipates freeway travelers wishing to visit the McDonald's/Chevron may not see the sign in time and attempt to exit by quickly changing lanes to exit. By allowing the freeway oriented sign to exceed 40', freeway travelers may see the sign sooner, and in turn, have more time to exit the freeway more safely. (v) Granting the Variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights possessed by other property owners in the same vicinity and zoning districts and denied to the property owner for which the Variance is sought; As referenced above, the project is located 15' below the freeway grade. It is difficult for freeway travelers to see the subject site without having a freeway oriented sign in place. It is also difficult for freeway travelers to see the sign at a 40'. height. Since the freeway is also divided into more than four lanes, a sign, 40' high may not be noticed by freeway travelers going north. City * staff anticipates freeway travelers wishing to visit the McDonald's/Chevron may not see the sign in time and attempt to exit by quickly changing lanes to exit. Whereas, the surrounding commercial businesses, which are also located next to the freeway have a pole sign that is clearly visible to freeway motorists. Therefore granting the variance is necessary for the preservation of substantial property rights possessed by other property owners in the same vicinity and zoning districts. (w)Granting the Variance is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan; The General Plan land use designation for the project is General Commercial (Q_ The proposed project is consistent with the General Commercial land us,,. designation. The General Plan's objectives and strategies for land uses within General Commercial include encouraging revenue generating uses in locations that serve the City's needs. The freeway sign is in at an ideal location for a City identification sign because of its advertisement visibility from the freeway and creates the opportunity to bring more revenue into the City. Therefore, granting the Variance is consistent with the General Plan. (x) The proposed entitlement would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City; and The applicant is required to provide construction and engineering details for t proposed pole sign. Details include information regarding sign height a materials used to construct the sign. The proposed pole sign's structural desi will be reviewed and approved by the City's Building and Safety Division. Th" is to ensure a structurally sound freeway oriented sign with the approprial- footing depth and wind load resistance is installed. Therefore, the propos( f, entitlement will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safet convenience, or welfare of the City. (y) The proposed entitlement has been reviewed in compliance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The City has determined that a Negative Declaration is required for this project. Negative Declaration No. 99-4 has been prepared for this project pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Section 15070. Furthermore, on the basis of the initial evaluation, it has been determined that the proposed project could not have a significant effect on the environment. 5.

I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there WTLL NOT be a significant effect in this case because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR pursuant to applicable standards and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EM, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project. g �at n r Rnnvn-oe Printed name Aate "FIA" �21 1 -111, (Environmental Information and Environmental Checklist) � � � � I 1� i i ii 11 i � � � � '' ii li � VHKWII� 119Z�� A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A "No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g. the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No Impact" answer should I ific factors as well as general standards (e. e. the ,yroject vul an CA14Wj� analysis). Ot. All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as on— site, cumulative as well as project -level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts. 3. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect is significant. If there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required. 4. "Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an affect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a "Less than Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from Section XVIL "Earlier Analyses," may be cross-referenced). Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(D). Earlier analyses are discussed in Section SVII at the end of the checklist. f, Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impact (e.g. general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated. A source list should be attached, aM other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion. 6 ENVIERONMEENTAL ISSUES Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than Significant Mtigation Significant No Impact Impact Incorporated Impact ...........

The lot located at 21025 Golden Springs Drive currently contains the Continental Burger fast food restaurant. The neighboring lot located at 21095 Golden Springs Drive currently contains a Chevron gas service station. Both existing developments will be demolished to accommodate the newly proposed development. McDonald's restaurant will be the main business and will offer gas service to its customers. The proposed development will require a lot line adjustment. The project site is located within the General Plan land use designation of General Commercial (C). The land use designation provides opportunity for the establishment of a wide range of retail shopping and service uses. The "C" land use designation is consistent with the C-2 zoning designation. Again, the proposed use is a combined commercial development, which falls under the City of Diamond Bar Development Code's land use categories of Retail Trade Use and Service Use. The proposed uses are permitted in a C-2 zone, provided the appropriate permits are obtained. Therefore, the proposed project is consistent with the General Plan land use designation and zoning designation. b) The proposed project does not conflict with applicable environmental plans or policies adopted by the City of Diamond Bar or other agencies with jurisdiction over this project. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan's land use designation for the project site. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan's land use designation for the project site. The proposed project has been reviewed pursuant to CEQA requirements and found that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the approprike recommendations will be incorporated as part of the project's conditions of approval. c) The proposed project is a commercial land use, which is consistent with the General Plan land use designation. Therefore, the proposed project is compatible with existing land uses in the vicinity. d) There are no agricultural resources or operations in the vicinity of the project area. Therefore, agricultural resources or operations will not be effected. e) The project site is zoned for commercial uses. It contains no existing residential development and moreover, the present zoning designation was not intended for future residential development opportunities. The proposed project is consistent with the character of the surrounding development and therefore, will not disrupt or divide the physical arrangement of an established community including a low-income or minority community. 19 a) The proposed project is located in an area with existing commercial development and the proposed project is also a commercial development. Therefore, the proposed project will not likely displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere. t b) No change in the City's population is expected because the majority of the employees will come from the immediate area. The employee staff is comprised of mostly teenagers, somV adults, and a few seniors. The McDonald's service area will require only ten employees to op . erate. The Chevron service area will require only two employees on site to operate. c) The existing commercial project site does not contain housing and/or residential dwelling units. The proposed project does not contain housing and/or residential dwelling units. Therefore, the proposed project will not displace substantial numbers of people, thereby necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere. z) No portion of the City has been identified as in an Alquist-Priolo Special Studies Zone. ThV closest fault -is the Diamond Bar Fault, which is described as a "small inactive local fault", Historically, there is no record of any earthquake with an epicenter in Diamond Bar of its Sphere of Influence, and no significant movement has ever been recorded for the Diamond Bar fault. The Whittier-Elsinor fault lies approximately four miles from the project site and has been active in historic times. Three faults with the greatest potential for activity are located in excess of 20 miles from the proposed project. Therefore, the likelihood of fault rupture is limited. b) The proposed project site lies within an area identified as Seismic Zone 4 by the Uniform Building Code. The site does not appear to be located within an Earthquake Fault Zone. c) The closest reservoir is the Elders Tree Reservoir, approximately three quarters of a mile from the project site, in a different drainage basin. If seiche occurs, it will not affect the project site. Additionally, the project is.not located near any volcanic mountain regions. There are no large bodies of water in close proximity to the project site. d) According to the State of California Seismic Hazard Zone Map, the project is in a potential liquefaction zone. However, this is not an indication that liquefaction will adversely affect this project site. This only infers a study was done in the general area. The applicant shall required to provide an approved soils report so that the proposed project is less likely to be affected. Moreover, areas where historic occurrence of liquefaction, or local geological, geotechnical and groundwater conditions indicate a potential for permanent ground displacements would require mitigation as defined in Public Resources Code Section 2693 (c) would.be required. Additionally, the nature of the underlying material on the project siq the lack of ground water and the existing and proposed drainage conveyance devices withi the lot further diminish occurrences of liquefaction. I 20 Pursuant to the project's preliminary soils report, the subject site and soil conditions with the exception of the fill material and existing structures, appear to be conducive to the development of the project. Moreover, the project site can undergo further review to verify the structural integrity of the fill material. It is recommended that compaction testing reports be provided to the soils engineer for review. Test boring locations were checked for the presence of groundwater during and immediately following the drilling operations. Free groundwater was not encountered. This infers subsidence of the land is very unlikely, and thus has no impact on the site. g) It is unlikely expansive soils will have a significant impact at this project site. Pursuant to the project's soils report, sandy conditions (silty sand and silty sand with gravel) were encountered throughout the site as opposed to clay soils. Subsurface soil conditions were explored by drilling 8 borings to depths ranging from approximately 10 to 20 feet below existing site grade. Overall, field and laboratory tests suggest that the soils are moderately strong and slightly compressible. Therefore, it is not anticipated that expansive soils will adversely affect the project. h) It is not anticipated that any unique geologic or physical features exist on the project site. Development of the project site will likely not change the amount of impervious surfaces. Runoff will be directed from on-site drainage devices into off-site drainage devices designed to accommodate run-off from the project site. Because the existing site will be demolished and cleared, the City has the opportunity to determine whether there will be potential run-off or drainage problems caused by the new development as well as prescribe methods for addressing them. The impacts associated from any increased runoff are expected to be insignificant. Moreover, the construction of the new building and parking lot requires the submission of a grading plan and permit to the City Engineer for his review and approved to ensure there is proper soil compaction and drainage for the site before any grading can occur, b) The project site.is not located within a flood hazard area and adequate drainage devices can be incorporated into the project's required drainage plan. c., d., e.) There is no body of surface water on the project site or in the vicinity of the project. Therefore, no impacts related to surface water features, quality or flow will affect the project site. f) The lot currently contains an asphalt/concrete surface. The proposed development will be similar to existing conditions. Therefore, the proposed project will not significantly impact the quantity and recharge of groundwater. ;11p� 11111111111111 1 �61 01 too U4 Lo I I # I I I WIN M-) a I 1tru H M0,U11111"'I I 01_qAWk1 #.N ITICTA W tanks for the gas station could potentially affect the quality of groundwater if there is any leakage. However, the applicant will be required to take numerous precautions to prevent or minimize the effects of leakage. Modem day storage tanks and piping feature a double wall construction, so that if the inner wall were to develop a leak or fail, the outer wall will contain the leak and prevents seepage into the ground. Additionally, new service stations are equipped with leak -detecting equipment at the tank turbines, the pump islands, and the dispensing equipment, which provide early warning in the event of a leak. Finally, a pressure monitor in the convenience store is designed to alert employees of any pressure changes in the fuel storage and dispensing system. i) The proposed project will not cause significant reduction,in groundwater supplies or the availability of groundwater for public water supplies. Grading is expected to be minimal. Air quality will be somewhat affected during grad n ij _t, operations, however, it is not expected to be significant with procedures that will be implemented to reduce air emissions. Additionally, such emissions are not expected to exceed those listed within the SCAQMD Quality Handbook. _IV.-TWWPr§7W- 2?_0,WW=&-r - - - -_ _1_� .... , I I I The SCAQMD would then check for Phase I and II vapor recovery. Phase I vapor recovery involves the transfer of fuel from tank or truck to underground storage and recovering any vapors in the underground storage. Recovered vapors are stored back in to the truck and brought back to the appropriate facility for disposal. The proper valve and hose connection should be installed to ensure vapors are not emitted into the air. Phase II vapor recovery involves putting in place nozzles and devices on any dispensing equipment to significantly reduce the amount of vapors emitted when dispensing fuel. The SCAQMD also will review volume amounts of fuel handled. This enables the SCAQMD to check for potential emissions. The emissions shall not exceed the thresholds set by the SCAQMD. Therefore, conflict with the applicable air quality plan is very unlikely. b) There are no known sensitive receptors within one-half mile of the project site. Therefote, any impacts to sensitive receptors -,krill be insignificant. c) The proposed project's affect on air quality will mostly be during grading operationsonly. The affect will be temporary and will not result in a considerable, cumulative net increase of any pollutant for which the project region is non -attainment under applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard. d) During the grading phase of the proposed project, diesel fuel odor may be emitted, however, based on the scope of the proposed grading operation, the impact is not expected to be significant. Furthermore, the applicant is subject to obtain air quality clearance for the operation of the charbroiler and grill in the fast food restaurant, which may produce fumes, dust, smoke or strong odors. A permit pursuant to California State Law Code 65850.2. shall M be required. Therefore, there will be no significant air quality impacts from the proposei uses on this site. J �TIIMOI- a) The applicant submitted a traffic impact analysis for the City's review and approval. The analysis, dated March 1, 1999, was prepared by RKJK & Associates. The study indicates that the proposed project is expected to generate approximately 3,308 trip ends per day with 256 vehicles per hour during the AM peak hour and 252 vehicles per hour during the PM peak hour. For existing traffic conditions, the study area intersections are operating at Level of Service "D" or better during the peak hours. The study area roadway links currently have V/C ratios better than 0.80, except for Brea Canyon Road between Lycoming Street and the SR -60 Freeway westbound ramps. According to the traffic analysis, the study area intersections are projected to operate at Level of Service "D" or better during peak hours with the proposed development, provided that certain street improvements are made to accommodate the traffic. Suggested street improvements include: 1) eliminating the easterly driveway located on Golden Springs Drive from the site plan, 2) providing an additional eastbound left turn lane for the intersection of the SR -60 fi7eeway eastbound ramps at Golden Springs Drive, 3) provide an additional northbound left turn lane for the intersection of Brea Canyon at Lycoming Street, 4) provide an additional southbound left turn lane for the intersection of Brea Canyon at Golden Springs Drive, 5) restrict the driveway on Golden Springs Drive for right -turn -only ingress and egress for the site, 6) implement signing/striping improvements in conjunction with detailed construction plans for the project. The above listed recommendations shall be used to help mitigate the anticipated traffic impacts. Ultimately, the applicant will be responsible for contributing only the fair share costs for the improvements. The results of the traffic study are in the process of being reviewed by the City's traffic consultant and Public Works Division for further recommendation. Final recommendations will be instituted as the project's conditions of approval. . b) The proposed project is compatible with the established land uses identified within the - General Plan and Zoning Code. Traffic hazards identified within the traffic report will be further addressed through the project's conditions of approval. 0 1 ;1 �1-18 I I'l Ir -Its I$ D'It 114 ngw, ItKI V-4:1.2 I I Udili;�'A mnj )M,s d) Pursuant to Code, one vehicle space is required for every 100 square feet of gross floor area for a fast food restaurant. Also pursuant to Code, one vehicle space if required for every 250 square feet of gross floor area for a gas service station. The proposed combined commercial development is approximately 4,794 square feet; 2,732 square feet for the fast food restaurant and 2,062 square feet for the gas service station. Therefore, 36 vehicle parking spaces are MI required. Moreover, the project site proposes to provide a 42 vehicle parking spaces. Therefore, the provided number of parking spaces meets the minimum parking requirements. e) The proposed project has included measures to accommodate and facilitate pedestrian access and circulation. There are no identifiable barriers to bicyclists' circulation or access. The proposed project must be consistent with the General Plan's Vision Statement and maintain an adequate level of service on area roadways. Nonetheless, a traffic analysis has been completed to address traffic impacts caused by the proposed development. The design is consistent with the General Plan's goals, objectives and strategies supporting circulation and transportation, provided the applicant comply with the recommended conditions of approval. g) No rail, waterborne, or air traffic facilities or operations are in the vicinity of the proposed project. Therefore, the project will not impact these facilities or operations. a.) Presently, the majority of the site is occupied by existing structures and asphaltic concrete pavement. The site does not contain locally designated natural communities or wetlands. In the absence of these conditions, a determination has been made that the site is incapable of supporting endangered, threatened or rare species. The site currently contains limited ornamental landscaping, which cannot support animal species. b.) The site contains eucalyptus trees in which the City would like to provide recommendations for retaining as part of the newly proposed site. The project's landscape plan will also be reviewed by the City to ensure it complies with the Development Code Water Efficiency standards. Therefore, the proposed project will have a less than significant impact on biological resources. z., b.) The proposed project will be required to comply with the LJBC design and construction standards. c) The proposed site is not within an area identified as possessing mineral resources of regional value. Therefore, it is not anticipated the proposed project will result in the loss of availability of mineral resources that would be of future value to the region and residents of the State. The project site contains underground storage tanks for fuel. The proposed project will be mitigated by requiring the project to comply with the UBC requirements, Section 307, for Group H Occupancies. Group H Occupancies shall include buildings or structures, or w L b) The proposed project will not interfere with the City's emergency response plan or evacuation plan. c) To mitigate any impacts, the project will be required to comply with the LJBC requirementm Section 307 for Group H Occupancies. Therefore, it is not anticipated that the proposed+ project site will create any health hazard or potential health hazard. I 10. NOISE a.,b) The project site is located within an area impacted by noise generated by the SR 57 and SR 60Freeways and Golden Springs Drive. The proposed project's development will generate noise impacts, but not to a level that surpasses existing sound levels, Therefore, the proposed project will not generate significant noise levels nor expose people to severe ,-fioise conditions. a., b.) The proposed project will receive fire protection and police protection services from the Los Angeles County Fire and Sheriff Departments. Currently, these agencies provide services to the City of Diamond Bar. It is anticipated that the proposed project will not require the development of new or expanded facilities or services. c) The proposed project is located within the Walnut Valley School District. The District is in need of permanent facilities. It is not anticipated that the proposed commercial project will create a significant demand to the District. However, the project is required to pay school fees as part of the development fees paid to the City. d) The maintenance of public facilities includes roads, streets, and public right of way. The project will likely create impacts to the City's streets and sewage systems. The impacts are addressed in the Traffic Analysis Report and Los Angeles County Sewer maintenance requirements. However, these impacts were identified and recommendations are to be incorporated as part of the project's conditions of approval. e) No other specific governmental services have been identified that may be impacted by the proposed project. a. -g.) The project site currently contains a commercial fast food restaurant and gas service station. . The newly proposed development will continue to be a commercial use with a fast food restaurant and gas service station. It is anticipated the new development will use existing utility lines and pipe systems. Therefore, the development of the proposed MI'd commercial project will not result in the need for new systems or supplies or substantial alterations to the following: power or natural gas; communication systems; local or regional water treatment or distribution facilities; sewer systems; storm drainage syste"j,- solid waste disposal systems. ��WAI a. -c.) The proposed project site is located along the SR 60 freeway, near a freeway on-ramp. Aesthetic impact will be considered for the proposed project. Trees and landscaping will be reviewed to ensure an aesthetically pleasing project site. The applicant shall conform to the landscape plan, which complies with the City's Development Code and is approved by the City. The proposed project will be developed in compliance with the City's Development Review and Design- Guideline standards. As a result, the proposed project will be consistent with the existing development within the surrounding area by utilizing good architectural design and features, as well as compatible and pleasing colors and materials. Exterior, on-site lighting will be shielded and installed in a manner that will not reflect light or glare on to neighboring properties, Golden Springs Drive and/or Brea Canyon Road. a) There are no paleontological sites identified within the City and the site currently contains an existing, completely graded co ' mmercial site. Therefore, it is not anticipated that the site's development will disturb paleontological resources. b) There are no archaeological sites identified with the City and the site currently contains an existing, completely graded commercial site. Therefore, it is not anticipated that the site's development will disturb archaeological resources. c) No historical sites have been identified within the vicinity of the project site and none are expected. Therefore, development of the proposed project will not affect historical resources. d., e No unique ethnic cultural values, religious or sacred uses are located within a quarter mile of the project site. Therefore, the proposed project will not have the potential to create adverse impacts on said resources. a., b.) Commercial projects of this type are not generally associated with creating adverse impacts on parks or other recreation opportunities because of its location near the freeway. This commercial project is likely to have the majority of its customers be freeway travelers, which will stop for either fast food services and/or gas service, but continue traveling through the City. 26 JEM 7.2 CUP 99-1/DR 99-1/CSP 99-1/VAR 99-4 21095 Golden Springs (McDonalds/Chevron) WWI", A,111�11,� EIJEPORT DATE: Apri�� MEETING DATE: April 27, 1999 CASE/FTLE NUM13ER: Development Review No. 99-1, Conditional Use Permit No. 99-1, Comprehensive Sign Program 99- 1, Variance No. 994 APPLICATION REQUEST: To construct a 4,794 square foot combined commercial fast food restaurant with a gas service station with drive-thru and a gas service station with convenience food store and six multi -dispensers.

The proposed combined commercial development will include an indoor restaurant with drive-thru, approximately 2 ' 732 square feet and convenience food store, approximately 2,062 square feet. The project will also include a drive-thru for the restaurant and six multi -dispensers. The applicant does not propose to sell alcohol. The project site is located on two neighboring lots; 21095'and 21025 Golden Springs Drive. These lots are also referred to as Parcel I and Parcel 2 respectively on the submitted site plan. The project site is approximately 50,167 gross square feet. Parcel 2 contains a sewer easement on the far west side. The site located at 21025 � (Parcel 2) Golden Springs Drive currently contains a Continental Burger fast-food restaurant with a drive-thru lane. The site located at 21095 (Parcel 1) Golden Springs Drive currently contains a Chevron gas station. Both existing developments will be demolished to accommodate the newly proposed development. The project has a General Plan Land Use designation of General Commercial (C). Pursuant to the General Plan , , this land use designation provides for the regional, freeway-ofiented, and/or community retail and service commercial uses. Developments within General Commercial areas are permitted to maintain a maximum floor area ratio (FAR) of 1.00. The project's FAR is 0.20. The project site is zoned for Community Commercial - Billboard Exclusions (C -2 -BE). This zoning permits retail trade and service uses. The proposed project with the requested uses is permitted in the C -2 -BE Zone. Generally, the following use surround the site: to the north is the SR 57 and SR 60 freeway's junction; to the south, east and west are C -2 -BE Zones. The project is also located within the City's Redevelopment Agency's Economic Revitalization Area. Parcel I is owned by the Chevron Products Co., Incorporated. Parcel 2 is owned by the Burger King Corporation. However, the Burger King Corporation plans to sell Parcel 2 to the McDonald's Corporation. :1 u"yLyets-aa—vil; W�!

The proposed combined commercial development will operate in one main building. The servic! station canopy is an accessory to the main building. The project's main building and service station canopy cross over both lots; Parcel land Parcel 2 Golden Springs Drive. Therefore, the project site requires a lot line adjustment because land is being taken from one parcel and added to the adjacent parcel. Pursuant to the Development Code, lot line adjustment applications shall be submitted to the City and shall be processed in compliance with the procedures specified by Chapter 22.44. No environmental review shall be required, in compliance with California Environmental Quality Act guidelines. The applicant has submitted a lot line adjustment application, which is currently being reviewed by the City. The applicant proposes to create one lot by merging Parcel I and Parcel 2. Approval of the lot line adjustment application is included as part of the project's conditions of approval. The applicant proposes the McDonald's/Chevron be open to the public seven days a week, 24 hours a day. The McDonald's will require approximately 10 employees to provide the fast food restaurant service and Chevron will require 2 employees to provide service for the gas station. Again, both the fast food restaurant and gas service station convenience food store will be combined so as to allow internal access between them. A half wall separates the dii4ing area of the fast food restaurant and gas service station convenience store. A grading plan and soils report were submitted to the City on March 23, 1999 for review and approval. Although a flat pad exists on the site, some grading is proposed. Cut amounts will be approximately 1,850 cubic yards. Fill amounts will be approximately 3635 cubic yards. Import amounts will be approximately 1785 cubic yards. Earthwork calculations have not yet been confirmed and the grading plan is still being reviewe"? by the City's consultant. It is unclear where the imported amounts are being placed on the site. The applicant is required to submit plans indicating existing topography. The preliminary grading plans indicate that some of the imported amounts are being used to raise the building pad. The building pad is being raised approximately 6". The architectural style of the proposed project is contemporary. The proposed building representsuEe-a=N-ft building. The overall design features a horizontal appearance with scored stucco :walls punctuated with two diagonally oriented tower like forms, and a flat parapet roof Metal store front windows and doors, and various seam metal awning/roofs compliment the rest of the M part of the project's conditions of approval. Again, due to close proximity of intersection a) Golden Springs and Brea Canyon, the driveway will very likely be an area where potential accidents may occur. The City Engineering staff feels the closure of the driveway will ensure better safety for vehicle motorists. The following intersection improvements are recommended for the cumulative, build out (Year 2008) traffic conditions: 1) Provide an additional eastbound left turn lane for the intersection of the SR -60 Freeway eastbound ramps at Golden Springs Drive, 2) Provide an additional northbound left turn lane for the intersection of Brea Canyon Road at Lycoming Street, 3) Widen the SR -60 Freeway westbound off -ramp to provide one left turn lane and dual right turn lanes for the intersection of Brea Canyon Road at the SR -60 Freeway westbound ramps, 4) Provide an lit Project Traffic 1.11 - - 101 IIIII&TV JIM"11" 41- A complete parking lot lighting and exterior site lighting plan was not submitted. The applicant is required to submit an exterior lighting plan and a parking lot lighting plan/study for the City's review and approval as part of the project's conditions of approval. Lighting fixtures shall be 6 architecturally compatible with the character of the surrounding development and energy efficient. The maximum height of the pole fixtures is 20 feet and shall be equipped with light shields thereby confining direct rays on-site. Spillover beyond the project's boundaries is not permitted. The level of parking lot lighting projected onto any ground or wall surface shall be an average of between one and two foot -candies. The uniformity ratio (average to minimum) shall not exceed 6: 1. It is required that lighting be on a time clock or photo sensor system. Lighting -rixtures are required to have 90 -degree horizontal cut-off flat lenses. Landscaping/irrigation is proposed. The City's current code requires that 15 percent of the site area be landscaped. Pursuant to the Development Code, the landscaping is required to meet water efficiency standards. The landscape plans are in the process of being reviewed by the City. Moreover, the construction of the proposed drive-thru for the fast-food restaurant will cause the removal of fifteen eucalyptus trees along the west end of the project site. The existing trees are of significant size and are estimated to be approximately 3540 years old. City staff recommends the applicant retain as many of the existing trees as possible for the following reasons. First, it will be extremely difficult to replace the existing trees with other trees that are of the same size and age. Secondly, the trees currently provide a screen from the freeway, which helps provide for a better aesthetics of the overall project site. The proposed project includes a number of illuminated signs and exterior parking lot lighting, which may be seen as a harsh landscape without the presence of the existing eucalyptus trees. A trash closure is provided next to the air/water pumps. It is required that the enclosure accommodates a recycle bin. The applicant is required to revise their submitted plans to indicate a recycle bin shall be provided. The revised plan shall be re -submitted to the City for review and approval. The project site is located adjacent to the Pomona Freeway. Existing noise contours regarding to the project's location is 65 CNEL as referenced in the General Plan. It appears from the project application that the drive-thru menu board with speakers will be located on the west side of the building, Adjacent to the west side of the property is the east bound freeway on-ramp. The City's noise ordinance standards allow Noise Zone III[, commercial properties an exterior noise level of 60 dB between the hours of 7:00a.m. to 10:00 p.m. and 55 dB between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. The proposed project will be required to comply with the City's noise standards.

Pursuant to the Development Code, a drive-thru for a fast food restaurant requires a Conditional Use Permit. The proposed project includes a drive-thru for the McDonald's fast-food restaurant service portion. However, the restaurant and gas line service station are permitted by right in the C-2 Zone. W of Long Beach and Fontana. Of the similar sites surveyed, the queue length reached a total of nine (9) vehicles during five (5) five-minute survey periods. Using the site survey information, it would appear that the drive-thu would have sufficient queuing area. Furthermore ' the applicant is required to meet the following Development Code's standards for drive-thru facilities: minimum 10 foot interior radius at curves and a minimum 12 foot width; each drive-thru entrance/exit shall be at least 50 feet from an intersection of closest intersecting curbs, and at least 25 feet from the curb cut on an ad acent property; and each entrance to an aisle and the direction of traffic flow shall be clearly designated by signs/pavement markings. These requirements are intended to ensure retail trade or service use pproviding a drive-thru facility be designed appropriately for the site. A Comprehensive Sign Program is required whenever five or more signs are proposed for a new or existing development. Pursuant to the Development Code, the Planning Commission must review a comprehensive sign program. The applicant proposes to have the following walls signs: unitized McDonald's letters on the north elevation with a sign area of approximately 24.0 square feet, unitized McDonald's letters on the south elevation with a sign area of 80.4 square feet, two 2' 6" logo plaques sign area of 14.6 square feet (7.3 square feet each) on the north and east side elevations, one 3' 6" logo plaque with sign area of 14.3 square feet on the west side elevation, two Chevron letters signs with sign area of 34.2 square feet (17.1 square feet each) on each side of the s�rvice�station canopy, two food mart letters signs with sign area of 34.2 square feet (16.2 square feet each) on the north and east side elevations, and six Chevron C-25 Hallmark logo signs to be located on the north and east side elevations, and also on each side of the service station canopy. The total sign area for all building wall signage amounts to approximately 227 square feet. As a result, the applicant shall reduce the amount of wall sign area so not to exceed 200 square feet as part of the project's conditions of approval. Additionally, the applicant proposes to have two six feet high monument signs with sign areas 63 square feet (31.5 square feet for each sign). One monument sign is to be located along Br T Canyon Road near the driveway. The other monument sign is to be located along Golde Springs Drive in the planter area, closest to the service station canopy. Pursuant to t Development Code, freestanding monument signs are allowed only for frontages adjoining public street. Maximum sign area permitted is 32 square feet per sign for single use tenant sit with 200 feet or more of street frontage. Landscaping shall be provided at the base of th-11- supporting structure equal to twice the area of one face of the sign. Single -use buildings wit: - 200 feet or more of frontage may be permitted a maximum aggregate sign area of up to 201 square feet. Signs shall contain an Arabic number address plate identifying the project or use b specific street address. The address plate shall not exceed four square feet of sign face are Numbers shall be a minimum of three inches in height and shall be clearly visible from thl-0 adjacent street. Address plates shall not be calculated against the permitted sign area. The applicant is currently in the process of having a lot line adjustment application reviewed and approved by the City. Nonetheless, a single address to be assigned to the newly proposed single In granting the variance for the freeway oriented sign, special circumstances apply to this particular project site. First, the project is located 20' below the freeway grade. It is difficult for freeway travelers to see the subject site without having a freeway oriented sign in place. The project site surroundings include the SR 57 and SR 60 freeway junction and freeway eastbound freeway on-ramp. It is anticipated that freeway travelers will be traveling at high speeds, thus making it difficult for freeway travelers to see the sign at a 45' height. Since the freeway is also divided into more than four lanes, a sign, 45' high may not be noticed by freeway travelers going north. City staff anticipates freeway travelers wishing to visit the McDonald's/Chevron may not see the sign in time and attempt to exit by quickly changing lanes to exit. By allowing the freeway oriented sign to exceed 45', freeway travelers may see the sign sooner, and in turn, have more time to exit the freeway more safely. Staff believes that the "Diamond Bar" section of the sign is an opportunity to identify the City and businesses within the City for freeway travelers. It is an ideal location for a City identification sign due to its visibilit!k-mpe �ilhr ?�&O cre7 ir� -t - I bring more revenue into the City.

Based on the findings and conclusions set forth herein, this Planning Commission hereby finds as follows: (a) The project site is approximately 50,167 square feet. It is located at 21025 and 21095 Golden Springs Drive, Diamond Bar, California. The project site is developed with an existing fast-food restaurant and gas service station. (b) The project site has a General Plan land use designation of General Commercial (C). Pursuant to the General Plan, this land use designation provides for regional, freeway oriented and/or community retail and service commercial uses. The proposed project is a retail and service commercial use and therefore complies with the General Plan. (c) The project site is within the Community Commercial (C -2 -BE) Zone. This ,zoning designation permits retail and service uses as proposed. (d) Generally, the following zones and uses surround the project site: to the north, is the SR 57 and SR 60 freeway junction, to the west, east, and south, is the C -2 -BE zone. (e) The. proposed Application is a request to construct a 4,794 square foot combine,? - commercial fast food restaurant with a gas service station. The combined commercial development proposed will include an indoor restaurant, drive-thru, convenience food store, and six multi -dispensers under service station canopy. r ,,e) The design and layout of the proposed development is consistent with the General Plan, development is consistent with the General Plan, development standards of the applicable district, design guidelines, and architectural criteria for specialized area (e.g., theme areas, specific plans, community plans, boulevards, or planned developments); KA The proposed project's architectural style, construction materials and colors are consistent with the existing structures in the C -2 -BE zone. The proposed project has a contemporary design similar to the surrounding developments. Therefore, the design and layout of the proposed project is consistent with the applicable elements of the City's General Plan, design guidelines of the appropriate district. (f) The design and layout of the proposed development will not interfere with the use and enjoyment of neighboring existing or future development, and will not create traffic or pedestrian hazards; The proposed project is within a commercial zone (C -2 -BE) which permits the proposed commercial use. The project required the submittal of a traffic analysis/report. A traffic impact analysis report was prepared by RKJK and Associates for this project. Recommendations are incorporated as a part of the project's conditions of approval to ensure the proposed project will not create traffic or pedestrian hazards. (g) The architectural design of the proposed development of the proposed development is compatible with the characteristics of the surrounding neighborhood and will maintain and enhance the harmonious, orderly, and attractive development contemplated by Chapter 22.48, the General Plan, City Design Guidelines, or any applicable specific plan; The architectural design of the proposed development is contemporary. The surrounding commercial neighborhood also has a contemporary architectural design. Nonetheless, there is an eclectic collection of architectural style considered for a commercial area. Pursuant to the City's Design Guidelines, buildings are designed to reveal or exoress their on' atterns of use and e (h) The design of the proposed development will provide a desirable environment for its occupants and visiting public as well as its neighbors thorough good aesthetic use of materials, texture, and color that will remain aesthetically appealing; Indeed, the McDonald's restaurant is easily identified by the brick red color t mansard roof, stucco walls, aluminum storefront, and wainscot tile. The color texture of the fast food restaurant help easily identify McDonald's and thu creates a familiar project site in which customers are accustomed to seeing in K commercial area. More specifically, the wainscot tile is being added to the base of the building and walk -way to provide for more aesthetic appeal. It also h1elps create a building, which is easier to maintain in the long run. The wainscot tile is preferred because painted stucco walls are more likely to peel and have a dirty appearance. Therefore, the proposed project's design provides for a more desirable environment for its occupants and customers through the good use of building materials, texture, and color. (i) The proposed project -will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious (e.g. negative affect on property values or resale(s) of property) to the properties or improvements in the vicinity; and Before the issuance of any City permits, the proposed project is required to comply with all conditions within the approved resolution and the Building and Safety Division, Public Works Division, Health Department, Sheriffs Department, Fire Department, South Coast Air Quality Management District requirements.

Furthermore, on the basis of the initial evaluation, it has been determined that the proposed project could not have a significant effect on the environment. (q) The Comprehensive Sign Program satisfies the purpose of this Chapter and the intent of this Section; The Comprehensive Sign Program is consistent with purpose and intent of Chapter 22.36 of the City of Diamond Bar Development Code because it complies with the design standards and guidelines, and is compatible with the style, color, and the requirements for presentation. With the exception of maximum allowed sign area for wall signs, the applicant shall reduce the signs so the total sign area does not exceed 200 square feet as part of the conditions of approval. The applicant has proposed to have approximately 227 square feet in wall sign area. The proposed signs were reviewed by the Public Work's Division and comply with clear line -of -site and directional requirements. Additionally, the Building 91 9901J� Ell, L and Safety Division reviewed the sign proposal. That Division's plan check review, permit and inspections will ensure that the proposed signs will not be a public hazard. f ,r) The signs enhance the overall development, are in harmony with, and are visually related to other signs included in the Comprehensive Sign Program and to the structure and/or uses they identify, and to surrounding development; The proposed - signs'. placement allows for clear identification of t McDonald's/Chewon development, when traveling west and eastbound Golden Springs Drive. The pole sign allows for clear identification wh traveling on the SR 60 freeway. Additionally, the arrangement of the signs a logos match with the existing main structure and allow for easy identification. I The proposed signs' design is harmonious with the eclectic collection of si styles in commercial centers in the City as a whole, as well as being compatib with the style, color and signs of the commercial sites surrounding the project siti, (s) The Comprehensive Sign Program accommodates future revisions which may be required due to changes in use or tenants; and The application utilizes the maximum signage with this submittal. However, future revisions are allowed. iiw apo monument signs 7v e cons, - IIL KIUI LIM 111UNIL U I Diamond Bar Development Code. The color, size, presentation, and placement 'Jor, the signs allow for flexibility with compatibility utilizing size, shape, color, presentation, and by utilizing logo recognition. (u) There are special circumstances applicable to the property (e.g., location, shape, size, surroundings, topography, or other conditions), so that the strict application of the City's Development Code denies the property owner privileges enjoyed by other property owners in the vicinity and under identical zoning. districts or creates unnecessary and non -self created, hardship or unreasonable regulation which makes it obviously impractical to require compliance with the development standards; N ,wanting the variance for the fre to this particular project site. First, & project is located 20' below the freeway grade. It is difficult for freeway travelers to see the subject site without having a freeway oriented sign in place. The project site surroundings include the SR 57 and SR 60 freeway junction and freeway eastbound freeway on-ramp. It is anticipated that freeway travelers will be traveling at high speeds, thus making it difficult for freeway travelers to see the sign at a 45' height. Since the freeway is also divided into more than four lanes, a sign, 45' high may not be noticed by freeway travelers going north. City staff anticipates freeway travelers wishing to visit the McDonald's/Chevron may not see the sign in time and attempt to exit by quickly changing lanes to exit. By allowing the freeway oriented sign to exceed 45', freeway travelers may see the sign sooner, and in turn, have more time to exit the freeway more safely. "v) Granting the Variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights possessed by other property owners in the same vicinity and zoning districts and denied to the property owner for which the Variance is sought; As referenced above, the project is located 20' below the freeway grade. It is difficult for freeway travelers to see the subject site without having a freeway oriented sign in place. It is also difficult for freeway travelers to see'the sign at a 45' height. Since the freeway is also divided into more than four'lanes, a sign, 45' high may not be noticed by freeway travelers going north. City staff anticipates freeway travelers wishing to. visit the McDonald's/Chevron may not see the sign in time and attempt to exit by quickly changing lanes to exit. Whereas, the surrounding commercial businesses, which are also located next to the freeway have a pole sign that is clearly visible to freeway motorists. Therefore granting the variance is necessary for the preservation of substantial property rights possessed by other property owners in the same vicinity and zoning districts. (w)Granting the Variance is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan; The General Plan land use designation for the project is General Commercial (C). The proposed project is consistent with the General Commercial land use designation. The General Plan's objectives and strategies for land uses within General Commercial include encouraging revenue generating uses in locations that serve the City's needs. The freeway sign is in at an ideal location for a City identification sign because of its visibility from the freeway. and creates the opportunity to bring more revenue into the City. (x) The proposed entitlement would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City; and L AL The applicant is required to provide construction and engineering details for t proposed pole sign. Details include information regarding sign height materials used to construct the sign. The proposed pole sign's structural desi t "i 'i a] will be reviewed and approved by the City's Building and Safety Division. T is to ensure a structurally sound freeway oriented sign with the appropri footing depth and wind load resistance is installed. Therefore, the propo 4. entitlement will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safet convenience, or welfare of the City. (y) The proposed entitlement has been reviewed in compliance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The City has determined that a Negative Declaration is required for this project. Negative Declaration No. 994 has been prepared for this project pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Section 15070.

Since the last Planning Commission meeting, we have met with staff and shared with them our equitable manner. In addition, we have also conducted our own field investigation of the existing right-of-way for Golden Springs Drive and Brea Canyon Road and also had an environmental horticulturist evaluate the historical nature of the existing eucalyptus trees proposed for removal. It has always been our intention to work with staff to resolve these issues before reaching the Planning Commission meeting. However ' , based on recent discussions with staff there still may be some differences between the us and staff on how to resolve these issues. The purpose of this letter is to share with you our position and recommendation on these issues.
